With experienced backup signal-callers such as Seneca Wallace and Brian Hoyer freely available, the Dolphins were unable to land even a late-round pick for Garrard or Matt Moore. Even though Garrard had emerged as the front-runner early in training camp, it made little sense to keep him on the roster at $2.25 million once Ryan Tannehill had been announced as the starter. Expected to be back to full health in a week or two, Garrard shouldn't be out of work for very long.

Not sure about that, Gerrard wasn't with Miami last year, it's Philbin's offense he's been learning. That said, I don't care. He's a decent starter if he can get himself upright. At a minimum, he's light years better insurance than Stanzi/Quinn on the bench.
